For people who suffer severe discrimination due to Race/Ethnicity, their Race/Ethnicity becomes an important part of their Identity. I can not speak for anyone else. In Russia, being Jewish was an important part of our Identity. I left USSR with my family of origin when I was 13.
I have not experienced significant anti-Semitism, but some Jews have. Anti-Semitism in USSR was much less severe then Racism in contemporary USA. To a great degree, myself and many other Jews identified as outsiders of Socialist Society. Many Jewish people switched alliance to USA in Cold War.
In USA, being Jewish is not as much part of our identity. We follow many Laws of Old Testament. That is the main aspect of Jewish Identity in USA and Israel.
